Today’s litigators must now manage case files that can include
thousands of documents, even in medium-sized cases. The
explosion of electronic communications-email-has increased the
volume of documents exponentially.

Discovery Law's Coding Project Process
Project Check-in: On receiving the new project, our core team will
analyze the full range of the documents and the database. Client’s
instructions will be observed and discussed in depth about
document unitization guidelines, the fields to be coded and, the data
validation programs to be used during coding. Clarification if any will
be cleared with the client and Project specific updating will be done
with the entire team. Project specific checklists for each stage are
designed.
Image Tallying / Bates Sequence Check: After downloading the
images, client’s details on images are confirmed. Then the image
folder and database will be imported into our customized software.
Training
The total production team will undergo "Project specific updating
training". The core team members will explain various case issues,
possible errors in coding and the unique qualities of the project.
Project specific updating instructions are thoroughly studied. For the
entirely new projects, classroom sessions will be conducted to equip
the work force to handle the task.
Trial Process
After thorough discussion and study over the project, the team will
undertake a trial process. A set of documents with different
categories and types will be processed and doubts raised by the
coders will be clarified. On critical issues, the Operation Head and
the Project Manager will interact with the client and get necessary
instructions and keep the work force updated on that.
Updating
Team leaders will assess the individual and team feedback on the
trial process and promote the discussion for the consistency on the
decision-making among members of the production team.
Checklist
With the project specifications, feedbacks on the trial process and,
updated instructions, a checklist is designed separately for
unitization, coding, quality control and quality assurance operations.
At every stage the checklists are verified and documented.
Objective or Subjective Coding / Indexing
Objective coding
Objective coding is creating an index of objective summary data
from a document, and (if discoverable), would include such
information as dates, author, recipient and title.
Subjective coding
Subjective coding is the indexing of documents around subjective
data. This may be gleaned from templates, or more usually from a
subjective reading by someone familiar with the topic. This is the
more realiable way to determine factors such as 'importance' of the
document.
For subjective data that involves decision making and interpreting
information (for example recognizing documents types from
hundreds of possibilities, or reading and identifying the parties to a
title transfer as the grantor or grantee) we create unique coding
manuals and training programs for each project.
